Piet Wijn
(17 May 1929 - 6 October 2010, The Netherlands)

Pieter Cornelis Wijn (1929–2010) has illustrated an impressive oeuvre. He was a versatile Dutch comics artist, known for his poetic style. His stories are either set in historic time periods or fantasy worlds, but in most cases a combination of these two. He is best known for co-creating the magical dwarf Douwe Dabbert (1975-2001) with Thom Roep for Donald Duck. Not only did he anonymously draw an immense number of comics for Marten Toonder and his studios (Heer Bommel en Tom Poes 1971-1986, Kappie 1970-1972, Panda 1970-1986, and Koning Hollewijn 1959-1971), he has also illustrated thousands of strips and pages under his own name for series such as Aram van de Eilanden 1951-1960, Gloria van Goes 1977-1978, Dick Durfal 1959-1961, and Puk en Poppedijn 1964-1974.

Piet Wijn was already a celebrated artist during his lifetime. In 1984 he won the Stripschapsprijs, the most prestigious comics prize in the Netherlands.

Wijn passed away in Leidschendam in 2010, but his work lives on in the several reprint collections that have seen the light of day. The Keij-Position has reprinted much of Piet Wijn's work for Tina. Boumaar in turn collected 'Annemoon' and 'Joker' in luxury books in 2009 and 2010. Since 2013, Barabas produces large format collections of 'Douwe Dabbert', while Don Lawrence collection reprints the regular album collection. City streets were named in Piet Wijn's honor after 'Aram' and 'Douwe Dabbert' and are part of the "comics heroes" district of Almere.
